Subject: use of <xsl:copy> From: menkell@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 18:35:36 -0600 |
I am pretty new to xsl and am not sure of the right way to use <xsl:copy>. If i use it a lot is there going to be significant performance problems? Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do? Basically I have a xml document and I want to insert a <label> element that I pull from a different xml document into my original document based on a key. Here is my current xsl document, my two input xmls, and my final output. I would just like comment on if I am doing this the right way or if there is a better way. MY XSL <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="object"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:for-each select="property"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:variable name="myKey" select="key"/> <xsl:if test="document('en_US.xml')/locale/*[name()=$myKey]"> <xsl:element name="label"> <xsl:value-of select="document('en_US.xml')/locale/*[name()=$myKey]"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:if> <xsl:copy-of select="./*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> MY currencyGen.xml <?xml version="1.0" ?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"?> <object> <property> <key>currencyCode</key> <value>USD</value> </property> <property> <key>fraction</key> <value>cent</value> </property> <property> <key>exchange</key> <value>1.5</value> </property> </object> This is my en_us.xml: <?xml version='1.0'?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"?> <locale> <currencyCode>Currency Code</currencyCode> <fraction>Fraction</fraction> </locale> My output document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <object> <property> <label>Currency Code</label> <key>currencyCode</key> <value>USD</value> </property> <property> <label>Fraction</label> <key>fraction</key> <value>cent</value> </property> <property> <key>exchange</key> <value>1.5</value> </property> </object> Thanks Laura L.
